WATCH: Chinese Man Climbs Out Of Hotel Window To Avoid Paying Bill

Hotel bills can often burn a pretty sizable hole in your wallet, and some people can go to great lengths to avoid It.

But what this Chinese man did takes the cake. He climbed out the window of his 19-storey hotel, and tried to make his escape by gliding across the telephone wires that were attached to another building across a 4-lane busy road.

However, he got stuck on the wires.

In a video compilation, the man can be seen hanging on to his dear life by grabbing onto the wires strung between the two buildings.

Witnesses who had gathered below recorded the bizarre incident, where the man, struggling to reach his destination, hung in midair.

Firefighters had to intervene in the end and rescue the man, as there was no way the man was going to come down from the height he was stuck at, AOL reported.

According to China Daily, the telephone wires that the man was hanging onto had high voltage wires nearby, and was really lucky to escape without getting electrocuted.

Following the incident, one of the firefighters at the scene confirmed the man had not sustained any injuries, Mail Online reported.

It was later revealed that the man had chosen to escape out of the high-rise hotel in order to avoid paying his hotel bill. It was not clear yet how long the man was staying at the hotel and what the outstanding amount was.

While the man’s attempt to escape paying his bill might be hilarious, the rising rate of hotels all over the world is no laughing matter. A 2016 study conducted by NYU School Of Professional Studies shows there has been a steady increase in revenue earned by hotels in the U.S. every year, with the businesses charging extra for anything from complimentary coffee to using room safes.

“Some fees and surcharges are sometimes unfairly called 'hidden' or 'surprise,' but disclosure on websites, confirmation emails, 'tent' cards in guest rooms, room service menus, and guest service binders continues to increase in the nature of the disclosure,” the study stated.

“Fees and surcharges are highly profitable; many have incremental profitability of 80 to 90 per cent or more of the amounts collected,” Bjorn Hanson, professor at NYU, said, Express reported.
